Most Canadians Back Staying Out of Iraq War-Poll Sat Mar 22, 9:17 AM ET OTTAWA (Reuters) - Most Canadians back the government's hotly-debated decision not to commit troops to the U.S.-led war on Iraq (news - web sites), according to an opinion poll released on Saturday. The Ipsos-Reid poll for the Globe and Mail showed 66 percent of Canadians supported Prime Minister Jean Chretien's handling of the affair while 54 percent said U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) was wrong to order the assault on Iraq. Chretien announced last week that Canada would not commit troops to the war, prompting vocal protests from business leaders and right-wing opposition parties who said Ottawa should be backing its closest ally and trading partner. "Public opinion in this country has a foundation that says we are not here as an adjunct of the United States and we are not here to work as a north wing of the White House," Ipsos-Reid vice president John Wright told the Globe. "We have supported the Americans in military action before but in this one we don't like the motives nor trust the administration of the United States." The war has highlighted the political divisions inside Canada between the more left-wing eastern and central regions on one hand and the more conservative west on the other. The premier of Alberta, an oil-rich western province, wrote to the U.S. embassy on Thursday to voice support for the war. The Ipsos-Reid poll showed that opposition to the war was lowest in Alberta, where only 39 percent disagreed with the U.S. assault. The poll of 1,000 Canadians from March 18 to 20 is considered accurate to within 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
